Starts June 13

Join us in the Commons at 9:30 as Dr. Daniel Block will lead us this summer exploring Ezekiel’s vision of the temple in the last nine chapters and his vision of the new Israel in the new land. The last four words of the book say it all, “The LORD is there!” (yhwh šāmmâ). Yes, this same Lord has been with us all through these trying COVID times, and he will continue to be with us in the days ahead. We hope to see you there as we gather together in worship.

Summer Bible Study

The slower pace of summer can be a great time to invite neighbors and friends together for Bible study. Each summer we like to find a shorter video-based study to recommend and make available for groups that would like to meet over the summer. This summer we are offering a six-week study on the Book of Habakkuk. Think of someone you can invite to study with you and stop by the church to pick up a free study.
